Dundee to Arbroath
Follow National Cycle Route 1 along the Firth of Tay from Dundee to Arbroath on this lovely easy ride which passes by the famous Carnoustie golf course - home of the Open.
The ride starts by heading along the Tay to Broughty Ferry with its striking castle and lovely beaches. You continue onto Monifieth before joining a traffic free section through Carnoustie where there are super views of Carnoustie Bay and Westhaven harbour as well as the famous golf links. A final long off road section takes you into Arbroath where you finish near the harbour.
At the end of the route we recommend locking up your bike and trying the splendid Arbroath Coastal Path.
The walking trail takes you along the red sandstone cliffs to the village of Auchmithie. It's teeming with wildlife with seabird colonies and dolphins to look out for on the way.
